Agile Working
Practical toolkit for managers to deliver decent and agile flexible working to address workforce challenges in the NHS
​
The NHS 10-Year Health Plan acknowledges that "Modernising the NHS as an employer means offering staff more flexibility and freedom to choose where, when and how they work.

New trends in Co-working
​
Coworking spaces are rising in popularity, as organisations seek to find ways of helping workers work in places more convenient to them, without experiencing the isolation and 'fear of being forgotten' (FOF) that home-working can sometimes engender. On the rise in both urban and rural centres, coworking spaces in different environments offer different benefits. Watch the videos below to find out more about how coworking can work for you.
